[SOLVED] Search module & accented characters > 406 er

Hello,

I use the Search module that is distributed with RavenNuke.

When I do a search with a word containing accented characters (for example " référencement "), the search result is displayed correctly.

But if I decide to make a new search, the accented word I was previously searching for goes as a parameter into the url ( /modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=search&query=référencement ) and I get a " HTTP Error 406 - Not acceptable error message ".

I think it is a bug. Does anyboby else have the same problem?

What can we do to correct this?

If it is a bug, is it possible to correct this in the next RavenNuke version?

Thanks!

Have a nice day!

There is no bug. A 406 error is an Apache mod_security module error message. The mod_security modules rules are controlled by your host.

That is not an error but an ignored part, which never ends.
The primary solution is to use "UTF-8."
As long as ascii-based encoding in in use, such extended character set and search issues will never be settled down.
That's why phpnuke and other nukes do not cope with right multi-lingual functions. If the multi-lingual systems in any types of nuke becomes true with no flaws, character encoding should be utf-8 or some types of encodings that do not employ ascii-based encoding.

In this context, security patch has also a serious problem. When you type in more than 2 bytes language coding such as chinese, the security patch codes change them to simple codes.

These should be improved in nuke community. Otherwise, this issue will never end.

You may test this in multi-lingual mode and with non-alphabetical language codes. the same thing happens agian.
